Two other bullets went through a Shell gas station window and struck a TV monitor.

"We have 32 cameras here. They cost around $6,000 spent here for the security system, and look what happened to it," gas station manager Mohamed Ahmed said.

Part of the gunfight was caught on surveillance video and a man in a blue shirt can be seen returning fire at what appears to be a silver Honda stopped in the southbound lanes of Reading Road. The gunman can be seen talking on his cellphone while shooting at the car.

Inside the gas station, it was a close call. One bullet went past the clerk working at the time.

"God saved him today for some reason," Ahmed said. "Everybody hit the ground and we started calling the police. We call the police every day here. We get threatened by people who are going to kill us every day here."

Officers found 14 shell casings near the scene, but no victims.

"If you're thinking about the future for this country, for this city, you have to do something. The city has to do something before it gets out of control," Ahmed said.

Witnesses told police one person ran from the scene holding their side, and hospitals have been notified to watch for gunshot victims.

About 9:30 p.m., officers were called back to the scene to investigate a retaliatory shooting. No victim was found.

The incident remains under investigation. The gunmen have not been identified.
